How the fuck does somebody go about moving from the UK to the USA?
It doesn't have to be permanent (I know getting married is the go to easiest way for that), I just wanna go there for a solid period of time and still be able to work (work visa or some shit). I'm no genius, I have no substantial skills, i'm just an average Joe sick of living in Britain. Here's my stats:
>22 years old
>Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Technology
>No medical problems etc
>General work experience you would expect from a guy of my age
>No real savings (still living with my parents, who are pretty well off if that matters)
Shit just seems so complicated yet the amount of Mexicans and clearly low skilled people I see migrating to there just makes me wonder how they do it.
So /trv/, help a brother out here.

Found your first problem

How much would I need to save? Say I had the savings required, what would be the best route going about it?
Non immigrant work visa?
I wouldn't bother familia, the work situation over there is awful.
Your best bet would be for your job to send you there for a set amount of time, I think that gets you a work visa.
The Mexicans etc get in easy as they do it illegally, have family/friend ties within the states and mexico has a land border so they just have to cross the desert and river.
Yeah, doing things the legal way is a pain in the ass. And when you're white, you're expected to do things that way.

Get a job with a company that has offices located in America, then offer the option to transfer after a few years experience.
Im not referring to McDonalds or BurgerKing by the way. Oil/Steel companies are what I mean as Im speaking from experience.

>>Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Technology
Time to get yourself a graduate degree!
Visa stay while in education is probably the easiest way to get into the country, and probably also the easiest way to convert it into a greencard if you want it.
canada is similar enough and a lot easier to get a work visa for

Our lives and desires are identical OP, we'll just pretend to be gay, trade places and make a waky family movie about it.

Where are you looking to move? Major cities are expensive as hell, especially NYC or California. with somebody just starting out in IT, take a look at Austin, Seattle, Minneapolis, ect. look for these growing cities where there are jobs and rent is not outrageous.
>No real savings
that's a problem. I would say at least have $10k preferably $15-20K USD if you hop over here.
do you have any family over here? that would help out a lot. good luck OP, do a bit more research

An Honors degree?
Would I just apply for a Student visa and try to study in America? Wouldn't that be expensive as hell (education is free in Britbong)?

I'm willing to live anywhere that's cheap. Austin sounds good.
I have family, an Uncle and a few cousins. They have a Casino (not sure how successful).
In regards to your savings point, say I had the savings, what then? What would I need to apply for?

Might consider this.
What qualifications/work experience would I need?

Austin isn't cheap.
It's cheaper than New York or London but it's not "cheap".
Honestly, stay with your well-off parents. Just come for a vacation then go home.

Look into San Antonio. Really great city, huge yet affordable, and totally underrated. Plus you're only an hour from Austin, which is nice to visit but ultimately overpriced and filled with cunts.
